These two images are not of the exact same part of the cliff,
but they are close. Note in the November 2000 image the accumulated
rock in talus cones at the base of the cliff, as well as the soft,
weathered rock on the cliff. All the talus and weathered rock
was removed by the January 8-12 storm waves, exposing the gray
siltstone bedrock. Even some vegetation that clinged to the cliff
in November succumbed to the January storm. |
